Donald Trump was declared the winner of the American presidency on Wednesday. Hours before the announcement, he took the stage to claim his historic victory over Democrat Kamala Harris. He was flanked by his family, friends and top political supporters. Trump later expressed his “tremendous appreciation” for Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, Trump’s top campaign advisers.

Susie and Chris are co-campaign managers. Here’s everything you need to know about them:

Following Trump’s historic victory in the 2024 US presidential election, Wiles could land a high-flying job. Wiles, one of Trump’s two co-campaign managers, is seen as the odds-on favorite to become Trump’s White House chief of staff, Reuters reported.

Wiles is credited with running a successful and efficient campaign. Supporters hope she will instill a sense of order and discipline that was often lacking during Trump’s first term, when he cycled through a number of chiefs of staff. However, the details of her political views are somewhat unclear.

Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt had previously told Axios: “…Susie Wiles leads a team of professionals and ensures that Team Trump takes the necessary steps to prepare for a successful transition back to the White House following Trump’s victory President Trump on Tuesday.”

According to US Today, Susie Wiles was a top staffer for Jacksonville Mayors John Delaney and John Peyton before becoming a well-known figure in political circles.

She also served as chief of staff for Delaney and worked on the successful campaign for a half-cent sales tax in support of the Better Jacksonville Plan, which was the signature achievement of his time as mayor, the report said. Wiles also worked on The River Accord to improve the health of the St. Johns River.

According to the report, Wiles was also behind Rick Scott’s successful campaign for governor in 2010. She led Trump’s victory in Florida in 2016, when he was elected president. She was a senior adviser on Ron DeSantis’ winning run for governor in 2018.

In an interview with USA TODAY, Wiles said she considers herself a team player and that other staffers are the public part of the campaign, allowing her to “do a better job” of orchestrating the mechanisms.

No, just like Trump’s closest aide, Chris LaCivita is also known for some controversies. He is a Republican political strategist with a career working on high-profile campaigns across Virginia and nationally. He served as co-campaign manager for Donald Trump’s third presidential bid with Susie Wiles since 2023.

According to CNN, LaCivita first gained national recognition during the 2004 presidential election for his role in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign, the group that sought to undermine and attack the military record of Democratic candidate John Kerry.

Following the 2021 U.S. Capitol riots, LaCivita was reportedly among those who blamed Trump and his “lies” for the January 6 violence. The post, which was shared on the evening of January 6, was later removed from LaCivita’s feed, CNN reported.

A few days ago, the Daily Beast reported that LaCivita received nearly $22 million from his work on the Trump campaign. This included money from Super PACs. These allegations reportedly infuriated former US President Trump, who even considered firing LaCivita following these developments, reports claimed.
